It happens every December. You head home for the holidays only to be accosted by parents who need help fixing their computers. This year, it looks like Google will be lending a hand with its unannounced Teach Parents Tech series of public service videos. The Google-registered website teachparentstech.com still shows a “coming soon…” graphic and the videos are still unlisted on YouTube, but that shouldn’t stop you from sending the source link below to your parents right now.
